Print JFrame with components

[Jude Fawly]

Hi There,
can somebody help me. my deadline is on the next Sunday.

how can i print my jframe with all the components on it like a jtable.
can you provide me with a code fragment for that.
I read the printing API but it is hard for me.

A little late, but I'll leave this here for reference:

//pertinent code only

import java.awt.print
 
//Method called from Print Button
public void FilePrintClicked(){
 
        PrinterJob job = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
    
        PageFormat format = job.defaultPage();
        format.setOrientation(PageFormat.LANDSCAPE);
 
        job.setPrintable(this, format);
        
        try{
            if(job.printDialog()) job.print();
        }
        catch(Exception e){e.printStackTrace();}
        
    }
 
//actual printing function
    public int print(Graphics g, PageFormat format, int pagenum) {
        
       if (pagenum > 0){
           return Printable.NO_SUCH_PAGE;
       }
       
       g.translate((int)format.getImageableX(), (int)format.getImageableY());
              
       float pageWidth = (float)format.getImageableWidth();
       float pageHeight = (float)format.getImageableHeight();
       
       float imageHeight = (float)this.getHeight();
       float imageWidth = (float)this.getWidth();
       
       float scaleFactor = Math.min((float)pageWidth/(float)imageWidth, (float)pageHeight/(float)imageHeight);
 
       int scaledWidth = (int)(((float)imageWidth)*scaleFactor);
       
       int scaledHeight = (int)(((float)imageHeight)*scaleFactor);  
       
       BufferedImage canvas = new BufferedImage( this.getWidth(),  this.getHeight(), BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
       Graphics2D gg = canvas.createGraphics();
       this.paint( gg );  
       Image img = canvas ;
 
       g.drawImage(img, 0, 0, scaledWidth, scaledHeight, null );
 
       return Printable.PAGE_EXISTS;
       
    }
 

Note: Your class needs to implement Printable

It's a little dirty, but it's rather old code from when I was learning Java and I didn't double-check it as I posted it here, but it's working in my application so.....
